Even though I bought an 18X40 full metal carport for mine, I still think a cover would do double duty. Early morning and late afternoon the sun slides in the sides and hits the hood, lower areas on the sides and part of the lower rear. Living in total darkness would be great. It's full body paint so not much worries there, but the sun does hit the dash and tires a little every day.

They need to add to the video showing how to move the RV out of the middle of the street into the driveway or storage lot.

Installing cover

I am looking for a cover for a Thor axis 24:1 but what I intend to do I bought too long painter poles that extend up to 16 feet and I intend to have my wife and I hook each side of the cover on and walk it over the top above all the snag spots I do not know if this will work but I think it will.
If anyone knows which cover will fit snugly on a Thor axis 24 one please let me know

Any Class C cover that fits a 25ft motorhome will fit (Class C because that dimensions more closely fit the Axis/Vegas than a Class A cover).

Without being able to see the top I don't think you'd be able get the cover over the RV with two poles. You could try it but I don't think it will work very well.

(Go back to page 1--Post #14--to see a pic of an Axis 24.1 with a 25ft Class C cover on it.)

Why Cover

Yes it is best to cover, especially if under trees ,but also from sunlight. We have a 24 ft Thor Citation ,very similar to yours. It is a pain and dangerous to get on the roof. We do it but there will be a time if we still have it that we will need to get someone to do it for us. I use a rope to pull the cover up them throw the rope over the front and my wife pulls from there. To take off first put ropes on the loops in front then pull both back together...
My landscaper says he can do it with a helper and two long poles. Put the cover on the poles and bring it back. A few dollars can save a fall. Hope this helps.

I use two pieces of 10' 2" pvc w/caps on the end for putting the cover on and taking off. Thor KM24.

Inside storage in my area runs around $95.00 a month for RV's and that is where mine is when I'm not it or when it's in my driveway between summer road adventures. Consider skipping the sometimes damaging covers and utilizing inside storage. I wanted to build a nice pole barn for my RV but my lot is not big enough and where I live the town would not allow it. I looked into buying property nearby to build one on but haven't found it yet.
